Oh interesting, I'm not very familiar with the American system but was under the impression that on the most part they only get something like 12 weeks!

Guns obviously. Training - new police officers in the UK who pursue the PCDA route for example, complete a 3 year programme and come out with a University degree (which also makes them less likely to use violence)

I'll soon be sending round a short survey to collect member's ideas and suggestions on how we take the network forward, so do keep an eye out and share within your other networks!

So, I've recently taken over as Lead for the BSC Victims network (exciting times!). If you're a BSC member and interested in all things victims and victimology, please do sign up to our JISC mail at BSCVICTIMSNETWORK@JISCMAIL.AC.UK #BSC #Victims #Survivors #Victimology #Criminology

Researchers explore an alarming rise in digital violence against women An international team of researchers have been awarded over £1 million in funding to explore the extent of digital violence against women in a groundbreaking study across Europe.

Margaret Atwood’s 10 best books – ranked! Ahead of the author’s much anticipated memoir, we count down the best of her books – from climate dystopias to her world-conquering handmaids

If we're going on cultural impact, sure Handmaid's Tale deserves #1. But as far as a good read, I think it's criminal that Oryx and Crake is at #9 (and behind hagseed, my least favourite) and the Blind Assasin should be #1. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Super relevant episode this week exploring how to engage with men/buys who've been influenced by the manosphere. And Jersey Shore, of course 😄

#Canada

Pleased to say that I've voted for @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social in today's election. Admittedly my first vote in a Canadian election since I left nearly 20 years ago. That's how much this one matters.

Not in Scotland

Devastated to see this happen in the old hood. #EastVan is a glorious mix of cultures and people. 💔

Great discussion on #BBCWorld about Canadian politics, and currently addressing #VAWG and #femicide. Canada sees similar stats as the UK - 1 in 3 women will face sexual violence in their lives. Hoping I get my ballot in time!

Excited to announce the 3rd run of our PhD conference for doctoral students researching in areas of criminology and criminal justice!

Good on you for challenging it! I'm wondering what the best way of raising it with the BSC would be as I can't tweet them 😆🥲

I've just received January's bulletin from @BritSocCrim. Anyone else concerned that, given recent events, we are still using and encouraging folk to use X? #criminology
